Labor Day and beginnings of Fall

Happy Labor Day everybody.Could someone please tell me where did August Go?If ever a month flew by this is the one this year.

I created a combo table of saying goodbye to summer and beachy wonder with red white and blue for Labor Day.

It was hard putting away the summer theme. But here in Seattle we have had such a mild summer with only ten days the entire summer of temps above the 75 degree mark and the leaves are already turning on the trees.Does this mean an early Fall?

I 've had a very busy summer.My son graduated from Dive Tech school and took a job in Massachusetts , Family and friends came up from California ,we had a great four days together.Work has been very busy at the stadium.We just got done working a 15 day cycle with no days off. Then in free time devoting my time in preparations for my Mission trip to Uganda on Sept 30.I'm so excited and already packed. And I have been asked to teach the children how to Bake.When the team Captain found out I was a Pastry Chef he asked if I would be interested in teaching Baking while there!!!!!!!YEEEEEEEES



So I made a table with Lighthouses and sand and sea grass and seashells and other stuff that would wash ashore on a beach.


We have this wonderful beach very near my house that I go to all the time it's right on the Puget Sound and has the most beautiful driftwood that covers the beach.Lots of this stuff like all the grasses really came from there 

I wanted to really make it look like stuff just washed ashore(I didn't want any trash though)

So goodbye Dear August and the sweet beach of summer

Some of the things we got to do were go to see Mt Rainier .It was such a beautiful day and the Mt was in his glory.When I went there in May all the green was still covered in snow.I didn't even know there were trees, trail,s or grass and wildflowers like crazy. 

The air up there is so magical and full  of freshness.Such a magnificent view it takes your breath away.
I captured these while driving today and just gawked at the change in the trees and leaves already. I know its not a good picture taken from the car but was just trying to capture the color as I rode by.

Well as we head into Fall and getting rid of Summer the Littles are all back in school so please be extra careful while and when driving. Enjoy the shorter days and cooler nights and watch as the beauty starts to unfold it's glory of colors in the next couple of weeks. I love the Fall in the Northwest.The array of colors is breathtaking.Mother Nature really goes all out in her displays. Have a great week.Love Susie
